I used to have a 35/3.5 M with the bugeyes. I found that while it was terrifically sharp at f8, wide open it was soft in a not very pleasing way. Moreover the bugeyes are an ergonomic disaster (I was using an M3). Finally, 3.5 turned out to be a stop at least too slow for me. I rarely feel happy about selling any photo stuff, especially Leitz, but I was relieved to see the back of it, frankly. That said, most of the images on the 'Very Quick on the Eye' section of the www.cinematic.freeserve.co.uk site were taken with it, so you be the judge. - -- Johnny Deadman photos: http://www.cinematic.freeserve.co.uk music: http://www.jukebox.demon.co.uk
